of the law is such as the people
have long demanded in private con,

An Important Interest.

The Hon. Sidney A. Foster, of
Des Moines, and the proprietor of a
half interest in The REPUBLICAN,
contributed a very interesting article,
through the medium of reporter,
to the State Register Saturday.
He is thoroughly posted on insur.
ance matters, both in detail and
general, and in this article gives a
comprehensive idea of the magni-
tude of that interest IN the state OF
Iowa. He says that there are each
year collected from the people of
Iowa and sent to foreign life and
fire companies, or companies outside
the state, nearly three million dol
lars, without reference to foreign
assessment companies, or all organ
izations of the kind in Iowa. Con
sidering this and the immense sums
known to be paid to state compan.
ies and fraternal associations the
magnitude OF the insurance interest
is, indeed, surprising. Mr.. Foster,
without reflection upon the auditor,
is of the opinion that the supervision
of this department is more of a task
than that officer can competently
perform, with his numerous other
duties, and recommends the creation
of an Insurance Department. A.
channel in which SO much of the
states wealth is expended certainly
demands competent and deter
mined supervision, and the companies
should be made worthy of public
confidence. The suggestion is
timely, and coming from one prom.
inent in insurance circles should Sc
cure consideration. The expense OF
a new department over the system
now in operation would be nominal
as compared with the benefits that
would accrue to the people through
safe indemnity. The people are
paying literally for insurance, and a
slightly increased expense to secure
proper supervision Of this vast inter.
est would be judicious and wise.
